“I recently moved here from Arizona and George and the Dragon has become my families go to restaurant. The food is amazing and the price is very affordable. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. I highly recommend you give this place a try if you haven’t yet!“
“Came here on a whim while we were walking around downtown Minneapolis. The service here is wonderful and shoutout to our waitress for being so awesome! It's a traditional style pub and walking in, we felt the chill and cool vibe and atmosphere. Plenty of seating around as well. We ordered the following: Soy garlic edamame: 8/10 - it was really good and salty from the soy! The edamame beans were steamed perfectly and provided that crisp pop when you bit into one. We would taste the garlic as well and it was very pleasant on the tongue. Mac and cheese: 8/10: I thought it would be the traditional noodles but it was penne style instead. It was rich, cheesy, creamy, and the pasta cooked al dente. It came with a toasted, buttered baguette slice. It was enough to feed two people and my coworker and I shared it. It was insanely good but I prefer the regular style mac and cheese noodles. To me, this was like a step above your average mac and cheese. Mexican corn dip - 9/10: do yourself a favor and get this as your appetizer! It tasted exactly like a warm elote! The flavors were outstanding and the added lime was the chef's kiss. it comes with fresh tortilla corn chips and when you first get a taste of the dip, you taste the richness of the Cotija cheese, and then follows the sweet corn and tangy lime juice and tajin. Then you end up with the slight spicy kick at the end. We all came to the consensus that this was our favorite item of the day! We finished every corn kernel. My other coworkers had a steak salad with blue cheese dressing and a slow roasted pull pork with tater tots. They both enjoyed their food as well. Prices were good for the portion size as well and our drinks were refilled and we were checked on regularly. Come try this place out! You won't be disappointment!“
“It's one of my go-to spots whenever I'm in Minneapolis. The atmosphere and service are standard brewpub. Good, but nothing out of the ordinary.Food is solid, mostly standard bar food, but it's well done with the cheese curds being noteworthy.The beer is definitely the highlight, there is a wide variety of well executed styles with the big barrel aged beers being some of the best in the state.I've been several times, and I'm sure I will be back next time I'm in Minneapolis.“
“We love skinner’s! The food is always excellent and we always love supporting locally owned businesses. Lately it has been incredibly difficult to get a table and even pick up orders are taking an hour which makes it difficult with kids (this is placing orders prior to 5pm so even on weekends an hour wait for takeout at that time is excessive and I spent 10 years as a server at popular pizza restaurant in Duluth and understand rush times). Again love supporting local businesses but skinner’s seems to be thriving beyond their space and we will be looking to spread our business around, while still ordering from skinner’s from time to time.“
“I have visited this place a number of times, but I actually had a less than desirable experience the last time I was there. I complained via FB and the owner called me personally and genuinely listened to my concerns. Where does that happen??? Now THAT is customer service. I recommend this place to everyone - because the owner really cares the you get taken care of. We need more of this in our world!“
“A wonderful Welsh pub that makes you feel friendly and local as soon as you walk in the joint. Just phenomenal! Cannot say enough great things about Jeff and the colorful cast of characters in this pub. Great food, great drinks and get the Chicken Pot Pie!“
“Love the ambiance and vibe of this establishment and so did everyone else as it was a full house! All of their food was restaurant recipes and not frozen food type if you know what I mean and I wanted to try everything on the menu! We narrowed it down to their wings, I was skeptical of chicken thigh style wings but pleasantly surprised they were amazing, lightly battered and meaty!!! The burgers were double patty, fresh bakery buns and delicious; side choices house made chips or fries. Guests next to me had fresh battered fish and the cheese curds, they gave two thumbs up too and said they do date night here every week❤️ Service was friendly and professional and a little slower to take our food order but again they were slammed not their fault. Food came out promptly. Now onto the drinks, they had a house beverage list with plenty of options but I will say for $12-$13 a drink that came with a huge ice cube I had it devoured in a few sips; I’d like more bang for my buck here and due to that I refrained from ordering another drink and resorted to a beer. I can’t wait to come back and try everything on the food menu! Desserts I was too full for but nice house made options.“
“This place is nicely tucked away, so it doesn't get overly busy, but they do offer reservations still if you need them, so that's always a plus. The food was pretty good, although the menu is limited. My favorite dish was the wings even though the burger is the star of the menu. Even though the menu is limited, they do a great job with all the eats they offer. On the other hand, the drink menu was extensive and unique, and I really enjoyed the variety of "classy" cocktails. All of that pairs very nicely with the "upstate NYC/hipster" vibes of the restaurant. I've been here twice, and the service was a little bit on the slower side, so I am taking a way a star for that. Other than that, this is a cute place to have drinks and a light meal. First date or relaxing happy hour vibes are met here!“
“This was our first time in here. We wanted to visit be/4 they close it down (closing this summer) and boy are we glad we did. The walleye and fries basket (all 5 of us ordered) was off the chain!!! Tasty and filing we couldn't eat all of it. Only missing a side of coleslaw. The wait staff from kitchen, the waitress everybody was so nice and accommodating. I think it cost $17-20.Will be back b4 closing, loved it!!“
“Super fun bar and bowling alley! We came here with a couple of friends on a Thursday night to hit the lanes and grab some dinner. Food was decent, pretty standard bar fare. Service was a little slow, but it was packed so that might not be the norm. It was great that you can put your name on the list for Bowling while having dinner. It speeds up the process.Bowling prices are great! I like that it’s per person per game and not timed like a lot of Alleys are doing these days.“
“The best place for sitting down. I've sat in so many places where I had a decent time sitting down but Tappers is different. Sitting at Tappers is just better. Sometimes I eat a pizza while sitting at Tappers and it's always amazing. Sometimes I drinks some drinks at Tappers and they make sitting at Tappers even better. I highly recommend sitting at Tappers.“
“Great restaurant/brewery in the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis. Parking can be a little difficult to come by, but usually you can find a meter on Washington Ave. Food is fast and delicious, as well as the beer and cocktails. We like the breakfast options and usually have a hard time deciding since there are so many good choices. It was busy on the Sunday morning that we were there so the wait staff took a little longer than was expected.Vegetarian options: Lots of optionsKid-friendliness: Definitely a place you can bring the kids to.“
“The Dubliner Pub's live Irish music (they sing more than just Irish, but Irish is my fave) and grab-someone-and-twirl-them dancing is top notch, so make sure you check this place out when they host live music, which is often thankfully. Nice side room with arcade style games and a pool table. We really love coming here; The atmosphere is great, even the old creaky wood floors!“
“This was a perfect stop after marching in the St Patricks Parade in St Paul. The food was delicious our server was excellent. The vibe was very chill and that is what we were looking for. We will definitely be back. Oh and the Irish Cheesecake was a treat with a twist.?☘️“
“You will not find a better bowling alley at a more affordable cost. $8 all you can bowl for 1 & 1/2 hour, shoes included on Weekdays & $11 for weekends. Multiple dart boards, three pool tables, and TouchTunes with short wait times. Amazing spot for family or friends fun!“
“We went here twice this past week. Once for lunch (inside). We had the poutine and a couple of locally crafted beers. The second time was after my husband's conference and we sat outside on the rooftop patio. The staff were very friendly, got our orders right, checked back to make sure we were happy. During the first visit, we sat inside and watched English Premiership Football with a very crowded bar filled with fans from both sides. The atmosphere (looked like a traditional British Pub) was great, food was good, beer was tasty and staff were fantastic! We'd definitely come back here again.“
“This is my favorite pre-theater hole -in-the-wall. Nothing fancy, just a nice, inexpensive neighborhood joint. If your hearty, you can even park on the street for free (or next to nothing), and walk the free blocks to the theatre district.But shhhh! Don't tell everyone! ?“
“5 stars for sweeneys! Love this place. Even through the ownership change and new menu, we come back. Moved out of St. Paul a few months ago and we still try to come as often as possible. Only 4/5 stars for food now BECAUSE we want the birria back!!!! It was soooo good and soooo missed. Also the boneless wings back too! (You should update the online menu)“
“Mackenzie(yes the server’s name was also that), was the best server we’ve had in Minneapolis. Super funny and just made the whole experience a lot better. The bar itself and the drinks are great too! Mackenzie made Minneapolis a lot more “
“Warm, lovely atmosphere. As a tourist, I felt welcome. The appetizers were delicious. The pizza tastes dirty. The hamburgers are a wow!The beer is unbelievably excellent. Service is wonderful. This is a place you have to stop by in Minneapolis Minnesota.“
“The Bulldog has my favorite wings and burger - the "Fear the Reaper" wings and "Stilton" burger are my favorites in the Twin Cities. The Reaper wings are the perfect balance of heat & flavor and the Stilton burger is full of flavor and heavy on the garlic. Oh, and when you get the burger make sure to get the cajun fries - baller combo.“
“This place was slammed and short staffed. While we did have reservations, we were not immediately seated. HOWEVER from my own experience hosting at restaurants the fact that they sat us in less than fifteen minutes given the state of the place I couldn't be happier.Great selection of beers and thc drinks“
“The pizza is fantastic. They used to house Red's Savoy Pizza, and they kept the pizza kitchen equipment when Red's moved out. They have very good pizza options on the menu, and the ingredients/ construction of the pizza is well done. The bar is what you would expect at a VFW, and has a decent selection of beer on tap. Very friendly staff and atmosphere.“
“We’re in downtown Minneapolis for a volleyball tournament and we’ve been to a few places, but this one is hands down the best. Went one night and they were slammed. Not sure if they expected to be so busy because it looked like a small crew, but they still did a great job. My wife and I sat on the patio for a few minutes waiting on the server, who was obviously overrun with customers. Mario, the manager approached us, found out what we wanted to order and brought out our drinks. It was almost closing time and even though they were busy, he found us a spot on the patio with a guy named Austin. Turns out he’s a regular, but they need to hire him as a greeter because he’s super friendly and hilarious. The door guy, Ben was really cool and polite and you could see he was doing more than just checking ID’s. He was moving around trying to help the crew. That’s a sign of a great team and you gotta give credit to Mario for building that team. We came back the next night because we liked the service, plus it’s adjacent to our hotel. Mario was off, but the crew was still on point. We brought over a volleyball team, parents and coaches and they found a way to accommodate us. The people in the kitchen are fast and kick out tasty food. Our waitress was a wonderful young lady by the name of Carley. She not only got all the orders right in the middle of the rush they had, but she also did it with an awesome attitude. All of us were impressed by how she handled the big groups and even more impressed when we found out she’d been working all day. We saw Mario who passed by on his night off and he remembered us. That is also a big plus. When people in the service industry remember you by name and thank you for coming by again, it’s awesome. It means they get it. They know that providing the guest with a great experience is what sets them apart from the rest. And I just want to say, they are on another level than the other places we’ve been to downtown. Thank you, Mario and company for your efforts. You made our nights fun and we can’t wait to come back.“
“Dave is the best bartender who can do it all, if you get the chance to come here ask for Dave, Kirk, or Smalls. They make good drinks for a low price. On top of it their food is top tier. Would recommend Dave and the bar staff 1000/10 amazing experience. We’ll be back. Believe That.“
“Had a great dinner at Merlin's Rest Pub Minneapolis. I had the delicious beef and mushroom stew and the wife and son had burgers. We had a scotch egg and the very delicious brussel sprouts with bacon. Had a black velvet which is Guinness and Strongbow cider. My wife had a white Russian. We got to hear some nice bagpipes playing for us. A very warm and homey British pub. Highly recommend.“
“I've gone here a few times in my life living in the neighborhood down the street from this place. It's been several names but now it's Cheer's Pub after the latest ownership change. They run a decent bar, seem to keep tabs on the patrons and it's a decent hangout. It's a typical neighborhood bar with a lot of regulars, cheap drinks, pull tabs, plus some stuff good...football nights, live music with local cover bands and some homegrown musicians, and Karaoke nights. The food here with the new owners is actually pretty damn good for a bar. I've ate here a couple times and I'd go back for those times I'm peckish and don't want to make anything myself (and they make a good drink). Simple menu: French fries, Mozzarella sticks, Jalapeño poppers, Hot dog, Slaw dog, Polish dog, Burger, Cheeseburger, Chicken drummies/sandwich/tenders, Catfish nuggets, Corned beef or Turkey sandwich.This time around I had the slaw dog (see pic) and it was a good take on a Chicago but with slaw...it's a beaut and tastes great, plus the fresh cut fries were the bomb.“
“The service at the Iron Ranger is top notch. The food is always great but we come back for the people behind the food!! Could not recommend more. My 4 teen and twenty something boys always request their birthday meal here!! Coming there since 2015.“
“We are new to WSP, and we felt very welcome at 5-8 tonight! Our son is Deaf and autistic, so he has some peculiar behaviors, but we weren't made to feel uncomfortable at all. It was a very warm and accepting experience. We moved up from Faribault where most of the restaurants in town know us and our son, Jack, so we look forward to being regulars at the 5-8 in our new community. Thank you! Oh, and the food was simple, spectacular, and reasonably priced! P.S. I also appreciate that you're a Pepsi establishment!“
“We were in town for a hockey game and this was a couple blocks from our hotel. We were seated right away and placed our drink orders as well as an order of cheese curds and a pizza. The cheese curds came out and they were amazing. We were busy talking and not paying attention to the time. Our waitress came out and apologized for the wait on the pizza and offered to comp the cheese curds and a beer. We weren't looking for anything for free. Once the pizza came out all we could say was fabulous. We had the Primo and it had so much flavor. They were playing great classical music that wasn't so loud we couldn't hold a conversation. If you're looking for a quick bite this is the place.“
“Just moved to the area and absolutely love this place! Gives a nice small town friendly feel with amazing food and drinks as well! They're wings are definitely not one to skip either! Will definitely be making this a regular spot for us not to mention the friendly staff and customers !“
“Today, they had a Bloody Mary with special toppings. My fav! It’s not a regular thing but they have different things going on so it’s nice to stop by and check it out. They have the wheel and pull tabs. Ohhh…darts too. It’s a cash only bar so make sure you bring cash. Love the bartender, Rachel.“
“The Acadia on West Bank is finally OPEN AGAIN!The menu consist of only burgers and a chicken sandwich for entrees but some tasty apps. They are not open for lunch at this time which is a bummer as the menu is perfect for a quick lunch. The lighting always seems a bit too bright and the music can be excruciating in regards to the volume.It's under new ownership or management but my hopes are they prosper and maintain a much needed "local" space with.“
“Our first time here - and we WILL be back. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Food is surprisingly good for a small spot. Great atmosphere. We tried the Cajun dry rub wings. Highly recommend. The walleye special and Broadway burger were also delightful.“
“We had a great experience at Lucky's Pub 13 in Burnsville, our waiter, Lucas, and the host were so accomidating! We are not from the area and wanted to watch the Iowa Women's Basketball game, they turned it on for us and we stayed for the duration of the game and felt as if we were VIP with the treatment we receieved from staff. Food and drinks were just an added bonus but it was the staff that made everything so much fun!“
“First time here. Decided to do a pick up after work. Online order was easy and food was ready within 25 minutes.Has its own parking and nice atmosphere, music not to loud and food wasn't bad.Got the Blucy with mayo and lettuce for $11.25 and decent taste. Lot of nice melted cheese inside the burger.I also got the 10 piece chicken which I felt was a little on the dry side and not much meat for $9.95, wasn't really worth it to me. Overall wasn't bad experience.“
“9/2024 Based on the bringing back table service, I'm going back up to 4 stars, the food is always 5, dine in experience is 5, still irritated that you can't order for a specific pick up time for carry out, but the food makes up for it.the food is always great, but the shift to Toast leaves a lot to be desired. the atmosphere is no longer personable or really enjoyable, you order and interact with your phone. ordering for pickup stinks, you have no option to place an order for future pickup, and it always says 20 minutes, even if it will be ready in 10 or 40, and you get no confirmation or understanding of an estimate when your food will be ready for pickup. pre-covid the dine-in experience was very interactive and had feeling, now it is very disconnected and robotic. if I could break down the rating, 1 star for dine in and online ordering experience, 5 stars for food“
“Major props to this establishment not only for the food, but the staff. First. Highly recommend the Humpty Dumpty Burger. Delicious 2nd. The staff is as friendly as can be. I brought my 3 Month old, solo, and he decided to wake up and share his vocal pipes. The Manager (Mike) came by, as he could see I was scrambling to find the bottle and calm my baby down. He took him off to the side room while I could get this done and all was good after that. Cant THANK him enough. For a good environment, delicious beers and food, you found the place. Thanks again!“
“Just finished eating the Chicken Sandwich off their new menu! My lord, what a sandwich ! Hands down the best chicken sandwich in town !Simple, straight forward and delicious. A true classic!I could literally eat the thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!The service was great, the price was right, and the food was phenomenal. What more can you ask for!Eat Chicken!!!“
“Parking: If you can't park at the restaurant there is another Lucky's parking area across the street.During the busiest periods you may have trouble finding spots in the two lots but generally you can still find a spot along the street and walk a little further.Tip - if church isn't in service you can get away with parking in the church parking lot.“
